This is a Scope of Work document for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) soliciting professional structural engineering services for the Southeastern Correctional Institution (SCI) located at 5900 BIS Road SW, Lancaster, Ohio. The project requires a qualified contractor to perform a comprehensive structural safety inspection and code certification of six exterior emergency egress structures, including cantilever systems, stairways, balconies, ladders, and associated structural anchorages. The work is mandated by the Ohio Fire Code Section 1104.16.5.1 to remedy an active State Fire Marshal structural violation. The scope includes a two-phase approach: Phase 1 consists of field investigation and pre-test visual inspection of cantilever systems (2 units), with examination of pivot points, counterweights, cables, pulleys, release mechanisms, and structural framing elements. All services must be provided on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis with the contractor supplying all necessary engineering expertise, labor, materials, equipment, and testing tools required to complete the inspection and live load testing.

The solicitation is being conducted through OhioBuys as a Quick Quote/RFQ and requires the contractor to certify that all stairways, balconies, ladders, cantilevers, and structural anchorages safely support a minimum uniform live load of 100 lbs per square foot in strict compliance with Ohio Fire Code regulations. This is a 5-year structural fire escape inspection requirement with certification documentation necessary to satisfy and clear the active State Fire Marshal violation. Specific pricing, contract term details, award timeline, and financial terms are not detailed in the available portion of the document provided.
